Aussie FG meetup! (melbourne)

Hidden_Hunter · August 22nd, 2007, 11:43 AM

I'm wondering how many people would be interested in melbourne meetup (or close to melbourne)

I'm up for idea's on what we could do, i'm thinking a bbq or something similar (we are australian after all images/smilies/wink.gif

)

Harlequin a fellow melbournite has already expressed interest images/smilies/smile.gif

so post here if you're interested

lol, sounds like a good idea, wrong state images/smilies/tongue.gif

(Adelaide FTW)

Why not do something involving Motorsport, like getting a group together and booking a box at the Grand Prix or at a V8 event?

cost prohibitive images/smilies/sad.gif

It would take a lot more planning and some really motivated people but if you made it a day trip you could probably find a place that's about equal distance from all the capitals and have an all lower states (we're mostly melbourne, sydney and adelaide anyway) people would probably want to car pool for that as well (which I'd be more than happy to do for melbourners images/smilies/wink.gif

unknownspeedster · August 22nd, 2007, 12:32 PM

or a go karts event? driving interstates a bit hard, university/school/university/family and work might be restraints for people, could have sycronised events in each states?

SV · August 22nd, 2007, 12:44 PM

Aww melbourne images/smilies/sad.gif

Seems to be alot of ppl on this board from Adelaide so maybe we could all head down to go-karts or mallala or something.. eh random ideas images/smilies/tongue.gif

It's going to be quite hard to get an Aussie Meetup, would probably be best with state meetups or a big function like mentioned above (f1, motogp, v8 etc)

MixtriX · August 22nd, 2007, 12:56 PM

If its in Melbourne, I'm game images/smilies/smile.gif

although, I'ld feel a little embarassed turning up in my mum's camry... maybe I'll take the bus, hehe

flyingfridge · August 22nd, 2007, 3:35 PM

Either way, count me in.

Could even do a cruise day... (recently did a fantastic loop around Colac and Apollo Bay with the WRX club)

Hidden_Hunter · August 22nd, 2007, 4:28 PM

if all of you interested could fire off a private message to me about if you're interested that would be helpful (and what you'd be willing to do etc)

Gepps Cross or something? Could go the laser skirmish as well then.

I'll probably go to the Clipsal again next year, but unlikely to get out to the Grand prix or anywhere unfortunately images/smilies/sad.gif

sounds like a good idea Red Bull regarding the lazer and karts then maybe a barbi or somthing

andyhui01 · August 24th, 2007, 3:36 AM

I'm definetly in... we could do a cruise/bbq thing down great ocean road... or the other direction towards yarra valley... GOR is good for the views and drive but loads of cops, Yarra has less cops but might not be as good to drive.

but if we do GOR, if we get to 12 Apostles, I'm sure certain adelaide people (don't know how to call them images/smilies/tongue.gif

) can get there, I would guess equal distance.... IIRC, the Nurburgring cruise had people driving for like 3-4 hours to get there

eddysdaman · August 24th, 2007, 4:27 AM

OOO OOO OOO

Pick me!!! Pick me!!! I'll come down for a day cruise gladly images/smilies/smile.gif

Sarnya · August 24th, 2007, 5:36 AM

Sounds like a fab idea..... but you'll have to count me out..... no car no license and no money. images/smilies/sad.gif

Necx0 · August 24th, 2007, 7:33 AM

Gee Would love to come to this but I don't live in Australia......

eddysdaman · August 24th, 2007, 7:43 AM

The United State of Tasmania?

Last time I checked Tasmania was an Aussie state, sure you're not connected to the mainland ... but .... etc ... images/smilies/tongue.gif

true that

apostles is a long long way for most people but if any adelaide peeps can make it for that then I guess I can too images/smilies/wink.gif

Sarnya, is there anywhere you can make? or be close enough for someone to give you a lift? 8)

osabros · August 24th, 2007, 11:13 AM

I'm not sure about dates yet, but melbourne is around 800km from sydney (depending where you measure from - both cities are spread out)
